On Monday, the Town will make the next $600,000 Fortress Bible bond payment (with a $3M balance outstanding). Greenburgh's unincorporated taxpayers alone must service this expensive liability, which resulted from the Town's violation of a church's constitutional rights.

If you live in Edgemont and have household members who are not registered to vote (including children under age 18 and people who are non-US citizens), please email us at edgemont2019@gmail.com with the names and addresses of all those household members.

Incorporation opponents incorrectly assume Edgemont’s governing body would foolishly build an expensive, redundant, “ground-up,” and independent EMS operation rather than sharing the service with other public safety agencies as the Town does for us today, or contracting with a third-party.

The EIC learned today that a four-judge panel of the Second Department will hear oral arguments on Feiner’s appeal. It will be held on June 14th (Flag Day) at 10:00am in Brooklyn. The court hearing open to the public and the EIC encourages all Edgemont residents to attend.

In order to achieve its desired result, the Town will refuse to acknowledge the obvious: that the route to Shelbourne on Underhill Road is, in fact, circuitous. Also, the Appellate Division ruled on timeline today.

Last week, Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner appealed to Albany for permission to use absentee ballots in Edgemont's incorporation referendum while he simultaneously appealed the court order to hold the election. Something isn't right.

Paul Feiner will appeal a court’s ruling in favor of Edgemont’s petition to vote on incorporation. As confirmed by Tom Abinanti, it’s all part of Feiner's larger effort to delay the vote, no matter whom he hurts in the process.

The Town Supervisor continues his campaign against Edgemont with unsubstantiated statements about incorporation. The EIC has both internal research and Town data to demonstrate that Mr. Feiner's statements are baseless.

Town Supervisor Paul Feiner declared that “those pushing for [Edgemont’s] incorporation don’t want to continue supporting programs that help the poor.”

We think that the kind of race-baiting Mr. Feiner is using against Edgemont is deplorable, and frankly, the complete opposite of what’s actually happening. To wit, Edgemont has been advocating for the department, which includes the Theodore D. Young Community Center, while the village mayors are categorically rejecting paying for this social service, no matter how little it would cost, and threatened to litigate.
